how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 12 comments (11 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) β 2 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 2 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βFrom its opening evolution sequence of squiggly things in the water through its references to the great circle of life, The Land Before Time embraces a larger perspective than merely that of the adventure story. It's an affecting work, and a work of quality. [18 Nov 1988, p.29]β
Jay Carr, Boston Globe Β· 88
βIt is, in the best Disney tradition, a story of childhood's end, of leaving the family and accepting adult responsibilities. Bluth relates it through a smooth counterpoint of humor, sadness and horror.β

βI guess I sort of liked the film. although I wonder why it couldn't have spent more time on natural history and the sense of discovery.β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 75
βBluth, a former Disney animator, understands that the greatest Disney films take us on an emotional journey in which all our hopes and fears are played out in a vivid fantasy world where anything can happen. The Land Before Time continues that great tradition.β

βIt's a beautiful movie to watch, and the cartoony characters are as endearing as they come.β

βA good story, which in 2025 looks completely different than it did even 10-15 years ago. An impeccable soundtrack, a story that is not long, not overloaded (at first glance it seems very short, but you need to understand the context of the time), but on the contrary, it is capacious and very light. The characters want to come back, although yes - they are a bit too straightforward, but metamorphoses in the time of the storyline also happen. Overall, The Land Before Time (1987) is a great story fβ
